Monaghan 2504: "A narrative account by a Hodgenville newspaper man, based on extended interviews with one of Lincoln's boyhood playmates." [Austin Gollaher]. Gollaher claimed to have saved Lincoln from drowning in Knob Creek (then in Hardin County, now in Larue County, Kentucky) when Lincoln was eight years old. The story is generally accepted today by most Lincoln scholars because Lincoln, himself, allegedly related the incident to a visitor to the White House, Dr. Jesse Rodman, of Hodgenville, Kentucky. Lincoln's law partner, William Herndon, also includes the story in his biography of Lincoln. See Coleman, BIBLIOGRAPHY OF KENTUCKY HISTORY, 439..
